for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Is the pre-match press conference today or tomorrow?
saintbob40 Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Strong side. Mr. P must think his black and white marauders can bring their carpet slippers and a pipe on Sunday, read the Sunday papers and still win the game. I feel that he may well be in for a shock. He is seriously underestimating Sir Alex Fergurson's favourite team and deserves to get his bottom spanked. Hopefully it goes to extra time with penalties and it is an incredibly physical game....and there is a plane delay, perhaps with a re-routing landing in Hawaii first on the way back -too much to ask.....?
trousers Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Is the pre-match press conference today or tomorrow? Usually Friday p.m. for Sunday games
adrian lord Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Decent squad - imagine a few of the better players might be on the bench. Can't really see anyone missing apart from their cup tied players and Ben Arfa who might be back vs us. Also its "French Day" on Sunday apparantly: http://www.shieldsgazette.com/news/local-news/newcastle-make-southampton-clash-french-day-1-5428949 Lets Hope the French throw in the towel as easily as they did twice last century.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Lets Hope the French throw in the towel as easily as they did twice last century. I don't think nigh on 2 million French dead in the 1914-18 war can be called giving in easily. Look up Verdun

Can it go to extra time and pens?! That would be nice! Regardless just them being out in Ukraine should be pretty tiring. Need to get at them from the off on Sunday and I'm sure we will. COYS

Need to get at them from the off on Sunday and I'm sure we will. COYS First half has been fairly even from what I've seen. Newcastle pretty much playing counter attack and look quite dangerous going forwards. Let's hope there are no goals in the second half either! Or, if Metalist score first then Pardew will surely be forced to leave his best players on and bring on anyone being rested.
trousers Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Half time: 0-0 Newcastle looking decidedly ordinary so far
Olallana Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Half time: 0-0 Newcastle looking decidedly ordinary so far yep, because they are.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Half time: 0-0 Newcastle looking decidedly ordinary so far Wouldn't disagree, though I do think they look ok going forwards at times.
Saint Garrett Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Need two from Metalist then? Hopefully a last min winner that'll hurt them
trousers Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Metalist have gone very close on 3 or 4 occasions now. Krul playing a blinder
trousers Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Cabaye picked up an injury and just substituted
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Cabaye picked up an injury and just substituted Hmm, think he made it look more serious than it was, hopefully might keep him out of our game as a precaution though.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Wanted Newcastle to win this - another 2 games, hopefully another one somewhere miles away, unfriendly and cold, like Scotland.
saints_is_the_south Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 @CaulkinTheTimes: Krul got a stamp on the ankle at the end of the match. Think cast/crutches precautionary but clearly a doubt for Sunday. #nufc

labibs Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Came on here to post the same news about Krul. Never want any footballer to get injured, but if he and Cabaye were both out (and realise this is speculative at this stage), we would have an excellent chance on Sunday!
The9 Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 He has been poor almost every away game though. He was one of our best players at Everton and at Arsenal.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Bearsy is causing a mass debate over on their site http://www.nufc-forum.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=48797.15
Dark Munster Posted 21 February, 2013 Posted 21 February, 2013 Came on here to post the same news about Krul. Never want any footballer to get injured, but if he and Cabaye were both out (and realise this is speculative at this stage), we would have an excellent chance on Sunday! I wish them both a swift and full recovery. But not before Monday.

In other news, i wonder if they take shirts off to post on toon forums?
student Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Biggest game of the season for you imo, a win puts you out of danger but a loss drags you right back into it all. The key has to be to not lose anything else is a bonus
studentsaint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Biggest game of the season for you imo, a win puts you out of danger but a loss drags you right back into it all. The key has to be to not lose anything else is a bonus Why do you post about the affairs of a ream you don't support? It's always strange to see a poster commenting 'you' about us.
PhilippineSaint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 I don't think nigh on 2 million French dead in the 1914-18 war can be called giving in easily. Look up Verdun There not called "Garlic eating surrender monkeys" for nothing you know
SuperMikey Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 There not called "Garlic eating surrender monkeys" for nothing you know I think the correct terminology is "Cheese eating surrender monkeys" actually, but I think yours is a nice variation on a theme.
PhilippineSaint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 I think the correct terminology is "Cheese eating surrender monkeys" actually, but I think yours is a nice variation on a theme. I knew I had something wrong there must have been thinking of the Koreans and the nice way the Japanese call them Garlic munchers. And waits for Tokyo to correct him.
Saint Troy Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Why do you post about the affairs of a ream you don't support? It's always strange to see a poster commenting 'you' about us. I can't be sure who he's talking about, both on same points and similar goal dif so really exactly the same situation for both teams! A must not lose
Bearsy Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 I knew I had something wrong there must have been thinking of the Koreans and the nice way the Japanese call them Garlic munchers. Ur thinking of greyhound munchers
Bearsy Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 i also like how student and studentsaint is sworn enemies! i bet this ends with duffing up in refectory
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Bog washing Bearsy. So many mistakes on the forum since poor old MLG left, this place is chaos. Clarke - Bearsy is the one they are quoting from this forum - all the others (the ones talking about Newcatle), well the are Geordies and they support Newcastle. It is not clear who Bearsy supports yet but my money is on Villa.
Wilf Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Thought I'd better warn any of you going to Newcastle........:-) "Sunday Is French Day - Make Sure You Get Involved! St. James' Park is set to have a little more joie de vivre on display than usual this Sunday after Newcastle United's home fixture with Southampton was designated 'French Day'. In homage to our growing Gallic contingent, which now stands at ten players following five new arrivals from across the Channel in January, 'Le Toon' fans are invited to dress up, paint their faces and bring along their Tricolore banners early to immerse themselves in a French-inspired theme across the stadium. There will also be chance for a sing-along before kick-off as singer Gavin James Burke arrives on Tyneside to join in the festivities, with further themed entertainment on the pitch at half-time. Ticket holders in the family enclosure, meanwhile, will be in the spirit of things with a team of dedicated face painters. And the pièce de résistance is yet to be revealed, with several other surprises awaiting fans at Sunday's game. Events and entertainment will be taking place from 1pm on Sunday and fans are advised to arrive early to ensure they don’t miss any of the action"
Bearsy Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 punch is on board with french day! if he scores he's gonna dig hole in pitch and then sh!t in it.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Horse burgers from the food stands and p!ssing in the street? How will anyone be able to tell the difference from a normal match day?
Dalek2003 Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 I don't think nigh on 2 million French dead in the 1914-18 war can be called giving in easily. Look up Verdun A game of two halves me thinks.
Restark19 Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 The last post on that thread - "we're taking Europe seriously (Europe, Southampton fans is where you go abroad and play other teams for all those reading from Saints Web) and feel our squad is up to it." Do the Geordies not know of our infamous Europa League run of 2003-04?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Have you seen Geordie shore mate? They don't know much about anything.
Bearsy Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 some guy called "gtomlinson" on that toon forum was just comparing us with Barcelona! I think he is getting a bit ahead of himself but it is v.nice to read these comments from opposition fans.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 I know, they are obviously watching us bear but not a single mention of the nipple slip thread in the muppet show yet. What is wrong with them?
SuperMikey Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 Bearsy, I think you should do a bit of espionage for us. What is this gtomlinson's motive for comparing us to Barca? Does he want to be friends with us? Does he want to pave the way for Morgan Schneiderlin to join them by creating a good relationship between the clubs? Or is he just mentally ill? Your mission is to uncover the facts here. God speed.
Bearsy Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 gtomlinson also puts us and "giants of european football" in same sentence. gtomlinson i should say is certainly v.impressed by southampton. Either that or all the walking round with no shirt on has got him a headcold.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 People in glass houses bear - Bearsy gtomlinson
Raging Bull Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 What's happened to MLG, why has he gone?
SNSUN Posted 22 February, 2013 Posted 22 February, 2013 What a surprise, Lawro tipping us to lose 2-0.
